We may have hosted some difficult house guests once or on even more occasions. Are you still worrying about how to deal with them? Here below are some tips on how to deal with those difficult house guests.
You’ve been waiting an hour to eat breakfast but your guests are still sleeping.
“Unless you adjusted a time for breakfast the evening before, let your guests sleep-in and enjoy your breakfast without them. If possible, keep their breakfast warm. Or better yet, when entertaining it’s always a good idea to have cold breakfast (as well as lunch, dinner and snack) food on-hand.”
——Pamela Eyring,president and director of The Protocol School of Washington
Your guest’s teenage son is a Facebook addict and hogs your computer all day long.
“If you have a guest whose fingers are fixated to your keyboard, kindly let him know that you are expecting work email and give him enough time to finish using it.”
——Ummu Bradley Thomas, founder of the Freddie Bell Jones Modeling and Finishing School, Inc.
Your couch surfing, unemployed nephew has been here a month and is showing no sign of leaving.
“There is nothing wrong with saying ‘John, you have been here a month and have not put in any applications. What can I do to help you get your resume together? I would like to make a plan that will assist you in getting back on your feet and allow me to eventually have my extra room back for guests that will soon be arriving.’”
——Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas
Your guests expect you to accompany them to every single tourist attraction in your city. It’s tiring and expensive.
“If your guests didn’t offer to treat you, politely decline and offer to meet them afterwards for dinner or drinks. That way they know you enjoy their company.”
——Pamela Eyring, president and director of The Protocol School of Washington
You gave your friend a closet shelf for her stuff but her clothes are thrown all over the place.
“You should simply say ‘I am happy to have you use my closet but your clothes seem to have a mind of their own. Would you mind keeping your clothes on the top shelf? It would make it easier for me to find my things when I am in a rush and looking for them. Thank you.’”
——Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas

阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A,B,C,D,E和F)中,选出适合Jack、Tommy、Linda、Bob和Cathy的建议,选项中有一项是多余选项。

  A.Taking care of yourself is not being selfish.By caring enough to treat your body well, you will be in better shape to take care of those around you.No one can take care of your health except yourself.

  B.Believe in yourself and your ability.Have a “can-do” attitude.Make a list of successful changes that you have made in the past.It is easier to achieve a goal when you are optimistic.Use humor and laugh off occasional lapses(过失).Have confidence that you can get back on track with your healthy routine.

  C.Seek out a friend or co-worker who will make you feel comfortable.You will find out making friends is a happy thing in the world.Regular phone calls, emails or visit over coffee could help you keep a good contact with them.Perhaps your cheerleader could become your exercise buddy(密友).

  D.Reward yourself as you make simple changes that in the end will result in achieving your overall goal.Celebration is part of successful change.Create a list of incentives(动机)that will keep you motivated.

  E.Adopt eating and physical activity habits that can become part of your lifestyle.Have a backup plan for those days when your plans to eat well and be active are challenged.If you can't walk due to the weather, have an exercise video to use.If you have no time to pack a healthy lunch, choose a small fast food sandwich and side salad.

  F.Go on a trip.Work and family are two most important things in people's lives.People try to tackle the two things at once, but most of them fail.Just as an old saying goes:People who know how to rest know how to work.Go out with your family and have a good time.

请阅读以下个人信息,然后进行匹配:

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Today, there’s hardly an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail.“If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas.And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”

  Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers.Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year.“We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”

  You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet.Consider:books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets.And even after you’ve moved on to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love can’t keep in touch.A company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.

Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的)future.Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet.Most kids use computers to play games(some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.

  What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back.“The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum.“The last 80% is happening now.”

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Most people believe they don't have imagination.They are wrong.Everyone has imagination, but most of us,once we became adults, forget how to access it.Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

  This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for example,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches, wax,night,silence,etc.Think of as many as you can.The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do.So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

  Imagine that normal limitations don't exist.You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.

  Look at the situation from a different point of view.Good negotiators use this technique in business,and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself “in their shoes”.The best fishermen think like fish!

(1)

According to the passage, when we become adults, ________.

[  ]

A.

most of us are no longer creative

B.

we can still learn to be more creative

C.

we are not as imaginative as children

D.

we are unwilling to be creative

(2)

According to the first technique,if you need to solve a problem, ________.

[  ]

A.

you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.

B.

you should link it with candles

C.

you have to think of buying a present for a friend

D.

you should link it with as many words as possible

(3)

The second technique suggests that you just imagine

[  ]

A.

setting a goal is as simple as skiing

B.

new possibilities will soon appear

C.

December and January are the best months for skiing.

D.

you have every resource to achieve your goal

(4)

The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.

[  ]

A.

dress yourself like them

B.

think as they would

C.

do as they ask you to

D.

put on their shoes

(5)

We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself “ ________ ?”.

[  ]

A.

what do I usually do

B.

what did my boss tell me to do

C.

what are my customers' needs

D.

how should I sell my products
